State of North Carolina } Superior Court of Law Granville County } 10th Monday in September A.D. 1832.
Personally appeared in open Court before The Judge of the court aforesaid this 7th day of September A.D. 1832.
Richard Glasgow a resident of said County of Granville, aged eighty seven years, who being duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 — That he was born on the 12th June 1755 in the County of Gloucester Virginia (Granville) and in his 21st year he removed to this County, where he has continued to reside up to the present time. His age, he is unable to ascertain from a family register now in his possession. Among the first of the men called into service in this State precise year he is unable to recollect — entered the service as a substitute for one John Sutton of this County and was placed under the command of one Richd Taylor of said County, and he thinks a Pleasant Henderson as Lieut. — his other officers he cannot name with any certainty. From this County he was marched Southerly by way of Wellsboro' Crossroads and to Charlotte, where his Company was attached to that division of our army under the command of Genl Rutherford another senior officer whom he at this time rec- lects at this time, as belonging to that division was a Col Saunders. From Charlotte he was ordered on to Charleston — from there on to Purygburg where he remained for some weeks. From this place after having been transferred to the command of Col Brantley

then he marched to a place called The Sister where he received his discharge after serving a tour as above stated of five months. It was during this tour that the engagement at Brier Creek took place and this affiant was among the mem- ber who were ordered to the relief of the Americans engaged in that skirmish, but before any assistance could be rendered them, their route became general;
Shortly after this This Affiant was drafted for three months under Capt. John Bennett and Saml. Crafton. From this County he marched to South Carolina, by way of Hillsboro and was thence marched in different directions to Ramsay's Mills, Bell's Mills and up & down the Cape Fear & finally he was engaged in the battle of Gates' defeat near Camden, from which he returned to Bell's Mills in Randolph County thence on to Hillsboro where he was discharged having completed his tour of three months.
This next tour was one in which his chief employment was in collecting beef & other provisions for the troops. He served this tour of three months under one Captain Compsey Moore in this County, and one Philip Vap acting as commissary.
This Affiant was again called into service under Captain Wm. Hester of this County his other subordinate officers he is unable to recollect. From this County he marched to the Cape Fear region and was principally engaged about Wilmington in this State, moving in different directions observing the motions of the British & Tories but was never in any battle. In this tour of three months the most remarkable occurrence within the recollection of this affiant was the Siege of York with which terminated the revolution. This affiant was discharged

at a place near Wilmington, the name of which he cannot call to mind.
Previously however, to this last mentioned tour and next in order to the one he served under Captain Simply Moore , this Affiant served a tour of three months, under one Captain Howard Davis and Pt. Howard Pres. He marched to South Carolina, by way of Hatteras, Salisbury etc. and was mostly engaged on the line between this State & S. Carolina, remaining but a short time at any one place. He can not call to mind any occurrence during this tour which has left any strong impression on his memory. He returned at the end of his three months tour to Hatteras where he received his discharge.
This Affiant furthermore states that he has no documentary evidence of his discharge - that he relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present - and declares his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.
Sworn to & subscribed in open court the day & date above written.

My dear Sir. In the matter of Mrs Nancy Glasgow who has for years been a pensioner upon the government I desire that you would assist me a little. Up to March 4 th 1861 she drew her pension regularly at Fayetteville N.C. after the war I succeeded in reinstating her name to the pension roll & drew for her all her back pay from March 4 th 1861 up to March the 4 th 1867 as throughout the department furnishing her a new certificate. No 56444 page 212. Vol. H, some time in Oct. or Nov. 1868 I was notified by one Lewis P. Olds who was connected with the pension department in Raleigh, N.C. that by act of

Census found some time in 1873 (I think) that upon the return of the aforesaid certificate & other proper papers (blanks which he sent me to be filled & which I had properly filled accordingly) he could get the amt. of pension doubled - viz raised from $450 per month to $800 per month.
There seems to be a hitch somewhere as I have written repeatedly to Mr Alds about this matter & no reply "pro" or "con" has reached me. I would be glad if you would look up this matter in behalf of Mrs Glasgow who is aged & inform & greatly in need of her money. Write me at once
if you need further information.
Yours Truly,
Geo Badger Harris Atty for Mrs Glasgow

Dear Sir,
Yours received.
I have gotten Mrs Glasgow's New Certificate through with some others for a long time delayed. The expense of ob- taining these certificates, count- ing the attorneys at Washington & here is considerable; being $40 on the others, though not payable at once, provided the Pensioner chooses to permit me ahead to to the former for draw- ing semi-annually. 10 per cent thereon for life.
I have had the Mother-in- maid here to manage Mrs Glasgow's case - and if the red will pay here now, excepting

the expense at Washington City, and charge nothing for any own labor used time in getting it through.
She will now receive every six months $48. 00 for life in stead of $54 annually, a great help there. I am glad for her maker are sympathetic with her - though they are all very poor.
Expect by Express Thursday or Mail money for her, & you can arrange it with her as to your outlay so kindly you decided.
Very truly
D. P. Old.
